Chips for me Lad

Every single day, Ben takes a turkey sandwich for lunch. Once upon a time it was ham & cheese accompanied by Doritos, but Ben has resorted to a healthier lifestyle these days. Gone are the days of Doritos, but today I splurged for a special treat – Baked Doritos! We seldom purchase this rare delicacy because they are never on sale.

In the name of Christmas, may Ben enjoy this bag of baked Doritos and savor every single last crumb. Also, in the name of Christmas may he feel the giving spirit and share a few with his wife.

Last night was our first Upward Cheerleading practice. Things were informal and we were really just getting to know each other and trying on our uniforms. We had some extra time at the end of practice so the girls wanted to start fluffing their pompoms. I helped Violet, a teeny, tiny 5 year old that hasn’t even started Kindergarten. I thought her pompons were looking pretty good and I verbalized my satisfaction to the group. Sweet Hannah, politely said “You are bragging.”

And there it begins…I got checked by a 1st grader.
